For some reason, issuing sm_reloadadmins to sourcemod resets my admins.cfg and admin_groups.cfg to something similar to "admins" { } What could be the problem?

I have these plugins loaded:

Check your error logs. It's probably a DB problem.

I've heard reports of SourceBans overwriting admin files, but i'm not sure.

That seems to be the problem. With sourcebans enabled, as soon as I issue a sm_reloadadmins they get wiped.

Check your sourcebans.cfg

There's an option for whether or not to use sourcebans for admin functionality. If you turn that option off, you should be fine running sourcebans without any overwriting of admins.

I have the same problem on our 7 dods servers :-(
I dont know why - but I made 2 of them connecting as they should to the webbserver ..

This is all the other gets - "admins" { }

I have uploaded the new *.smx today from sourcebans svn trunk on all servers !

try sb_reload then sm_rehash. that is what I have always used.

sm_rehash is enough to reload the admins in SourceBans, sm_reloadadmins does the same as sm_rehash.

I found a solution to this. We wanted SourceBans to manage admins, but we wanted to manage the groups on our own, so everytime we reloaded the admins with sm_reloadadmins it would overwrite admin_groups.cfg. I figured out that if you make admin_groups.cfg read-only, then it will no longer overwrite the file, and SourceBans will still manage the admins (allows me to add and remove people from groups and so forth).

You can also turn the backup configs option off in configs/sourcebans/sourcebans.cfg, and it won't write to those files.
